Genni Kane - This Time of the Year Lyrics

And the story goes
That a baby was born
On the 25th December
A long time ago
In a far away place
And they worship him still
At this time of year

But for me
I'm missing you
Every day I do

There's a funny old fat guy
Who visits your house
When everyone's sleeping
As quiet as a mouse
He climbs down your chimney
And drinks all your beer
At this time of year

But for me
I'm missing you
Every day I do

I wish you were here mum
It's that time of year mum
When you had to leave us
You never liked Christmas
I look in the mirror
I swear I can see ya
Not just in December
I'll always remember

There's a Paul Kelly song
'Bout a prisoner named Joe
Who's missing his family
And wishing that he could go
Home to make gravy
'Cause he always does
At this time of year

But for me
I'm missing you
Every day I do
Every day
Not just this time of the year
